November started a couple of weeks ago, but since we had a couple of extensions to our challenges in October, today actually marks the start of our November songlist! So that means......
The first thing it means is that we have to say goodbye to our guest designer for October - Sharon Fritchey! Sharon it's been fabulous to have you and your awesome talent with us for the last month! Thank you so much for guest designing for us!!!
We also get to welcome our new guest designer for November - say hello to Linda Phinney aka Phinner!!!
Hi!
(clears throat self-consciously…)
My friends call me phin. I'm also known by my (not so) secret superhero monikker, DeathGrrlRunningGoddess!
If we met on the street, I’d probably start talking your ear off immediately! (blah, blah, blah! LOL!)
I’ll tease you, A LOT, if we’re buddies.
I’m very direct, but I won’t say anything if I don’t think it’ll make an improvement or a difference…
Well, unless you ask and then…(See blah, blah, blah above!)
I have a lot of energy and have a hard time sitting still. I get distracted easily…
SQUIRREL!!! hee!!!
I’m a crazy perfectionist and get on my own case way too often.
I love:
Laughing, sunshine, Starbucks soy chai lattes, words, physical effort (and sweat!), running, spin class, eating,
music and movement, artistic process, the family of my heart (my friends), reading, stalking blogs,
browsing the internet, black nail polish, taking pictures, off-color humor (heh!), my car ZooMZooM (aka Pieter),
and my pet Betta, Mike (named after Mike Ness of Social Distortion!)
I’ve been playing with paint, glue, and paper, making messes for as long as I can remember…
My first ‘scrapbook’ as we currently know it, was completed in 1994
when there really wasn’t much in the way of scraping fun and
you could only find ugly background paper and flat stickers, hahaha!
Now I’m more into collage/mixed media, creating my own supplies & embellishments,
and upcycling products I'd recycle, like catalogs and cardboard.
I really like grunge, gesso, texture and layering. I also enjoy making and trading ATCs,
‘cause of the small space to work in and the quickness of completion.
I'm very happy to be invited to be a guest designer this month and SO happy to meet YOU!
Welcome Linda! We are so glad you are here!!!
and now.....
